Question

Cellular respiration generates a total of 36-38 ATP molecules. How many of these come solely from glycolysis?

Answer 1

well glycolysis makes 4 atp in total, but it uses 2 in the process of doing glycolysis. Therefore, the total ATP is only 2 ATP

Answer 2

8 ATP comes from glycolysis.

Answer 3

10 ATP are produced during glycolysis but 2 ATP are used up in it's preparatory phase, so net yeild is of 8 ATP for one glucose molecule.

Answer 4

wait where did u guys get 8 ad 10 in total from the first step of glycolysis?

Answer 5

@sunshao1
Read my article on cellular respiration for more detailed explanation

Answer 6

wont let me read it i sent a request

Answer 7

Just accepted it

Answer 8

ok I read it and I don't know where u get 10 ATP total from glycolysis? Even in the notes it says 2 net atp

Answer 9

Read it carefully !
Glycolysis produces 4 ATP (Substrate level Production) + 2 NADH + H+.
These 2NADH + H+ gives 2X3 = 6ATP at the end of respiration via ETS

Answer 10

SInce, 2 ATP is used in the process of glycolysis, net outcome is of 8 ATP

Answer 11

yes, but i thought the question was asking strictly from glycolysis stand point because if we say it is anaerobic respiration, it cant go through the ETC

Answer 12

The question says
"Cellular respiration generates a total of 36-38 ATP molecules."

Answer 13

It is only possible in aerobic respiration

Answer 14

o my bad i guess my mind just went on a tangent lol

Answer 15

It's ohkay
